The Emerging Filmmakers Project (EFP) is Denver’s longest-running, locals-only, independent film showcase! It is a monthly event held at The Bug Theatre the third Thursday of every month at 8:00 PM. It is a unique event devoted to screening the work produced by Denver’s Indie filmmakers. Hosted by local filmmaker Patrick Sheridan it has become a special outlet for sharing work, making contacts, and building community.

Please join us as we dedicate a portion of our programming lineup to the work of Stacy Farrar.”
